Remnant from the Ashes: Build guide - The Broken beam rifle meta build vs Apocalypse bosses

*AS OF 5/13/21, THE BEAM RIFLE GLITCH HAS BEEN PATCHED* The beam rifle now works as intended and no longer ramps up all incoming sources of damage. All of the builds here are still very strong, just not stupidly broken anymore.

Build 1:
Osseous set / Radiant set
Hive cannon
Beam rifle - swarm
Hero's sword
Butcher's fetish
Akari warband
Burden of the gambler / Ring of supremacy

Build 2:
Cultist hat, Bandit chest and legs
Hive cannon
Beam rifle - swarm
Scythe
Black rose
Burden of the gambler
Provisioner ring

Build 3:
Leto's set
Hive cannon
Beam rifle - swarm / frozen mist
Melee of choice
Nightmare spiral
Burden of the gambler
Ring of the mantis / gravity stone

Build summary:
Behold the most overpowered weapon in the game. This gun can go with any build and dominate. If you do not know, the beam rifle is glitched and it ramps up ALL concurrent damage and CO-OP partners damage as well. So what it is doing in these videos is that its ramping up the damage from swarm and the DOT's applied by hive cannon and frozen mist. It's absolutely ridiculous. If you want to go straight DPS, the osseous and radiant versions are king. Osseous will be better for longer fights due to ramp up and radiant will be better for shorter fights. Use burden of the gambler for non weakspot enemies and ring of supremacy for weakspot enemies. Use both of those instead of akari warband if fighting an enemy that requires little to no dodging. The bandit version is the fun version. The cultist hat gives us 5 more seconds with swarm and add in the bandit beam procs and you will be firing the beam rifle for a long time and ramping that swarm up. A nice little combo. The hive cannon works well with bandit too as the AOE splash also give a chance for bandit to proc. If you want to go the tank route, use the Leto version. With nightmare spiral healing you and the anti-staggering ability Leto has, you are the immovable turret. Ring of the mantis goes great here since you can just stand still and fire away. The fire rate buff on mantis is great too since it will help us achieve max beam rifle ramp up faster. Gravity stone is another great trinket for the tank version. Since we are neglecting the ads, the gravity stone ability should be up the majority of the fight. These are just a few samples on what you can do with the beam rifle. You can do a summoner beam rifle build and ramp up iron sentinel's damage etc. Play around with it and see what you can come up with!

As with all of my videos, the builds and build summaries are posted in the video description. Thanks for watching!

Man, I replayed 7 times Rhom (adventure mode) to FINALLY got this weapon. It was damn well worth it. I am currently using your build 1, without the ring and amulet, because I don’t have it...yet. That thing just melted some bosses, like they were nothing. Completely disrespectful. Thanks for the tips. Congratulations from Brazil.

New player here thanks for the builds in the description, having a really hard time finding builds that I can make that aren’t changed or nerfed. Thanks.

Holy shit it's a beam rifle variety pack of builds! Glorious. 😃

[davidh]

You've got the mechanics to every boss down to an art man, it's really great to watch the builds are just a bonus imo. Keep up the good work man hopefully theres a new remnant game soon. Not the remake vr thing

[Tcproper]

Awesome video. The beam rifle and devastator are 2 of my favorite weapons

[positiveinflux]

Really appreciate the video as well as taking the time to explain the mechanics. Keep up the great work

I didn't like the Beam Rifle, but I took a chance and tried to play with it by taking your builds. I will say that I liked all the variations that I watched, especially the first one. I also decided to experiment and since you have often helped me, if it is not difficult for you to evaluate my version of the build. Sorry for my broken English, I'm Russian.))
Hive Cannon
Beam Rifle
Frostborne
Set Akari
Gunslinger's Charm
Ring Of Supremacy
Akari War Band

Ahh, the build. In my 197 hours of playtime, whenever I get stuck, I whip this build out. Once my friend and I were playing hard (he's a scrub), and we encountered claviger. Rolled of the edge right at the beginning. He was yelling at me saying "You will never defeat him without me!". Sure LOL. Dead in half a minute, I would pay to see the look on his face.

So I just found this game on Xbox game pass Friday and was bored of destiny 2 so figured I would give it a go. One of the best games I have ever played. I dont know why its not more popular

[cfriedalek]

Nice! The Hive Cannon trick for dealing with the wisps is a must try for me. Hate those things! Also watched the Ixillis fight at 25% speed to check the dodge timing. Seems the spears flash white just at the dodge point. Gotta go try now. Awesome content as usual. Cheers.

And nice first shot with the Hive Cannon on the Barbed Terror. Right down his throat! LOL!

[gentlemancroc]

is this game still worth buying i have about 80 hours in outriders was looking for some similiar stuff

[johnnydamm]

i can confirm that to this day with all the things patched(i just started playing this game) that the beam rifle is still supreme. i melt every boss with the setup i play i have hunters armor set for the extra 20% ranged and weakspot dmg along with brutal mark, braided thorns and hunters brand but i see i realy need to farm some glowing fragments for that sword cause it is awesome XD

[RingerUA]

Very good!
what kind of amulet is so interesting?)

[Youngmxra]

Hi! Can you do some build with the Assault Rifle? And what do you think about this weapon at the moment? What rifle is best between these two and why? Thx a lot for the guides. Appreciate it

[shadowhawk]

Can you use unstable quills, corrosive aura, or seeker on a machine pistol/submachine gun instead of hive cannon. And still be just as effective for the first build?, as those weapons synergise better with the radiant armour.

[B_]

how come sometimes you use HEADHUNTER Set and sometimes you use Crusader Visage? like against THE THRALL?

[TheIzasaur]

Is this still a thing? Just picked up the game a few days ago nearing 167 trait level. So far items are +15 rounded. Don’t have radiant set yet, but have osse...you know it, so I have been using 2 of that and cultist head. But I have both weapons(using turret in beam until I get swarm) With spirit stone and devouring loop as rings, because I don’t have any of the other rings listed. Any suggestions or am I on course until I get the mods and rings/gear

[Smilies-hbmr]

This is what youtube is for :) great music man. very nice.

[godMachne]

this is fucking insane how you slay the shit out of everything
